摘要
In this paper, we demonstrate ultra-fast millimeter wave beam steering with settling times below 50 ps. A phased array antenna with two elements is employed to realize beam steering. The phased array feeder is implemented with a recently introduced time delay line that provides, at the same time, an ultra-fast tunability, broadband operation, and continuous tuning. Our implementation is used to perform symbol-by-symbol steering. In our demonstration, the beam direction is switched between two sequentially transmitted symbols toward two receivers placed 30 degrees apart. We show the successful symbol-by-symbol steering for data streams as fast as 10 GBd. The suggested scheme shows that the ultra-fast beam steering is becoming practical and might ultimately enable novel high bit-rate multiple access schemes.
